Whole Wheat Bagelstop
2 1/4 Cup warm water |
5 cups freshly milled wheat flour ( hard white ) |
|
|
| 2 Tbs. Honey |
2 1/4 tsp. salt |
| |
|
| 2 tsp. Instant yeast |
1 Tbs. gluten ( optional ) |
| |
|
Combine water and honey. Add yeast with about 3 cups of the flour and mix
well. Add salt with the remainder of flour and knead to form a slightly
stiff dough. Let rise until double, covering to keep dough from drying
out. In a large pot bring 1 gallon of water to a boil then add 1/3 cup
honey to it. Divide the risen dough into 12 pieces and shape into balls.
Let the balls rest briefly then poke your thumb through the middle forming
a hole, twirling each new bagel on your thumb to enlarge the hole until
the hole is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Let each bagel rest about 5
minutes, then place it in the boiling honey water. Cook 2-3 at a time
adjusting the heat so the water is simmering all the time. The bagels
should sink and rise in a few seconds; if they don't, they rested too long
but are still fine. Just turn them over so that both sides get wet. After
1 minute in the water remove with a slotted spoon and place on a greased
cookie sheet. Bake at once in a preheated oven at 425°
for about 35 minutes, turning the bagels over at the halfway point if they
haven't browned evenly.
The bagels may be brushed
with a mixture of 1/2 beaten egg and 2 Tbs. water then sprinkled with
sesame seeds, poppy seeds ,minced onions, or minced garlic.
The egg wash makes even ungarnished bagels shiny and pretty.

Whole Wheat Breadtop
| 5 cups warm water |
2 1/2 Tbs. instant yeast |
| |
|
| 2 Tbs. salt |
2 Tbs. lecithin granules |
| |
|
| 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
2/3 cup honey |
| |
|
| 12-15 cups whole grain flour ( depends on your home and weather ) |
|
|
Place first six ingredients into Bosch bowl. Turn on
just a few seconds to allow the ingredients to mix. Now is a good time to
grind the grain in your new Whisper Mill. Once the flour is ready, start
to add a cup at a time to the above mixture. You should have your Bosch
set on the number 1 setting at this time. Continue to add the flour. Watch
the insides of your bowl and you will notice about the 12th cup of flour
it will start to become more like dough. Your eventual goal is to have the
sides of the bowl clean...also, when you touch the dough it will not stick
to your finger. I call it the "just past sticky stage". As the dough
starts to thicken you will hear a change in the sound of your Bosch... you
want to turn it up to 2 at this point. once you have reached that just
past sticky stage you want to let your dough knead for 8 to 10
minutes. When finished kneading, pour a little olive oil on the counter
and take the dough out of the bowl and place on the olive oil. Your dough
should have a sticky and shiny texture to it. You will now divide it into
5 loaves of bread or whatever you are planning on making.
Allow to rise for about 2 hours. Preheat your oven to 350 and bake for 22
to 25 minutes...it varies by oven.
When it's done baking you can sit back and enjoy the wonderful bread you
made with your own two hands!!! (with the help of the Bosch of course!!)
